Return to article: How to Network Your Computers

on 1/29/2007 Using a firewall, popup blocker and antivirus software is NO SUBSITUTE for using encryption on your wireless network. Use WPA encryption over WEP but WEP is still much better than no encryption. Remember that no software or hardware will make your computer 100% secure.
on 12/20/2006 How can I use my computer with out an internet provider. How would I do that?
on 11/22/2005 I have a 4 PC wireless network with all Linksys devices. 3 have XP Home and 1 has ME. I tried setting up WEP encryption on all workstations but I had problems with them not going online and finding each other. I did a lot of searching for info and made changes to the settings and I got to a point where they all went online but still didn't find each other. I tried the new stronger encryption settings WPA-PSK and ran into the same problems so I bought a device called AlphaShield. It allows you to set your wireless network settings to no encryption because it has a new firewall, blocks all 3rd party pop-ups, makes your PC invisible to hackers, stops MS Blast, My Doom and other worms, and has 100% security among other things. It's really easy to set up with no software, and it works very well.www.alphashield.com
